Veronique Bourbeau is a native of Quebec City, Canada, who (currently) lives and trains in Australia. Vero is an otherwise normal working mother of two children who unexpectedly became an endurance athlete, performance coach, and influencer in the growing ultra-adventure world after a chance encounter with a treadmill just over a decade ago. With a Master’s in Public Administration and major in Psychology, Véro earned her Performance and NLP Coaching Certifications to launch her own Peak Performance Coaching to help others build Hyper Resilient Mindsets to chase their own dreams—no matter how big they are or how fast they come. After surprising herself by finishing a marathon as a complete novice, Véro completed dozens of ultramarathon running events across the world, run 3010km across the whole of Japan’s main island, and win a 444km foot race that crossed from one side of Malaysia to the other. Now, she will run across the entire African Continent from Alexandria, Egypt to Cape Town, South Africa.
